Adds or Detracts? Bond Watch Branding

Style Debate: Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M “SKYFALL” Limited Edition – ???

Ignore whatever the cost will be. It’ll be insane. Let’s limit this to the aesthetics.

Here’s the non-Bond Seamaster Planet Ocean 600. Now the details on this new one created for the film:

42 mm in diameter
600 meter water resistance
007 logo appears at 7 o’clock
Divers’ Clasp on bracelet engraved with 007
SKYFALL 007 is black-varnish engraved on the rotor, visible through a sapphire crystal caseback.
Matte “structured” / brick textured black dial
Powered by Omega’s new Co-Axial calibre 8507 movement
Production run limited to 5,007 (hey-o) pieces

The differences (other than the movement) appear to be the 007 logo at 7 o’clock, the texture to the dial, and the engraved 007 logos on the clasp and rotor. Now the question:

Do the 007 logos help or hurt this thing? Plenty of you guys hate logos in general, but does adding a movie character’s branding make it less wearable, y’know, just in case you happen to have five, six, or 00-seven grand lying around? Adding the 007 logo to a special edition watch for the movie is nothing new, but still. Vote in the poll and leave your take in the comments…
